the location lieie of a new industry,
was adopted.
Your manufacturers committee begs to

Hughes i. Megahau Shoo company, of
Wllllamsport, who are desirous of moIng
their plant to this city. We llnd that they

2447, for the cteatlon ot a depattment
of commerce nnd manufaetutes, ad
vet sely on the proposed bill for the
regulation of the oh 11 set vice and rec
ommended that the secietary be ln

this legion of the boaid's action and to

THE SECRETARY'S REPORT,
Secretary Atherton announced that
his yeaily repot t was tendy, but he

formed had been halted, "held up."
He deemed It a matter for board of
tinde investigation, and for one of his
reasons charged that the present sei

satlsfactoiy to a great degree. If, un
der such conditions, Scianton capital
ists had the entet prise to attempt the
oiganlzatlon of a new company and
seek a fianchlse but had been blocked
In their effott, he thought the boatd
